阐释与自证——心理学视域下的阐释本质

Interpretation and Self-verification:The Essence of Interpretation from the Perspective of Psychology

阐释的本质,亦即阐释为何而生,因何而无穷,是理解和认识阐释及建构阐释科学的核心问题。当下,沿及方法论与本体论的传统,对此问题的讨论,或止于功能性说明而难抵本质,或遮蔽于形而上的猜测而少有令人信服的证据。当代心理学研究为解决这些问题开辟新视野和切实路径。在心理学视域下,阐释的本质为“自证”——阐释主体证明自我的心理企图和冲动,以自证满足为目标和线索而持续展开,不断确证自我认知与自我概念,最终实现意识主体同质化的自我建构。自证的企图与冲动,为本体论阐释提供了可靠依据,给方法论阐释以合理证明。自证贯穿于言说、说明、翻译等全部阐释功能之中,不断更新人类知识系统,建构独立意识主体的认知图景。以阐释本质为起点的心理学与阐释学研究,具有广阔的理论前景。

The essence of interpretation is the core issue in hermeneutics.At present,discussion of this issue is either limited to functional explanations,rendering it difficult to reach the essence,or concealed by metaphysical speculation,meaning there is less convincing evidence.Contemporary psychology opens up a new horizon:the essence of interpretation is self-verification.From this starting point,it continuously unfolds how to obtain self-verificational satisfaction and formulates it as scenario,confirms self-cognition and self-concept perpetually,and,finally,actualizes the self-construction of the homogenization of the subject.Self-verification provides a reliable basis for ontological interpretation and a reasonable proof for methodological interpretation.Throughout all explicative functions,such as speaking,explanation,and translation,self-verification constantly renews the human knowledge system and constructs a cognitive picture of an independent subject.
